Mount Ruang volcano in Sitaro, North Sulawesi, Indonesia erupted on April 19, 2024.

The eruption has necessitated the evacuation of over 7,500 people from the area.

Continuous eruptions have been characterized by lava flows, ash, and volcanic lightning.

There is a high level of concern for further eruptions and a possible tsunami.

Manado's international airport remains closed due to volcanic ash dispersion.

Authorities have set the highest alert level and established a six-kilometer exclusion zone around the volcano.

Indonesia's position on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' makes it susceptible to frequent seismic and volcanic events.
